American Airlines Boeing 757-200 Pulling into the gate from Boston

[patcism]

haha good thing the weather was a lot better in San Diego!

[457azazazaz]

american airlines and the 757 were ment to be,all of american's 757s are so good looking

[bagrat22]

American's planes are old. Some MD82s were delivered in 1984, Some 757s in 1989. How much pressure can the fuselage withstand? Remember that ancient 737 in Hawaii? I recently flew an American 757-200 and it was old and tired inside with bulky video screens. And the 82s are sucking fuel and limiting profits, driving up ticket prices.

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@bagrat22 Yeah ok the MD's and 757's are old but the 777 and some 837's aren't. Shit AA is still getting more 737's.

[bagrat22]

@yoyoyoyoshua Yup, they had a bunch of 737-800s delivered in 2010. But they have to retire the dinosaurs

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@bagrat22 Well the MD80's are slowly being retired but the 757's and 767's won't be retired for some time. I know the 767 will be replaced by the 787 and the 757 might also be replaced by the 787. So yeah we'll see what happens.

[diapermanful]

@yoyoyoyoshua The 757's will probably start being retired at a quicker pace once AA starts taking delivery of the massive Airbus and Boeing order placed a few months ago.

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@diapermanful I know but it might be sometime before that happens.

[Drakeman2003]

for those that don't know, those are Rolls Royce RB 211's

[Travelchannelluver]

OOOOH!! IM gNG TO SAN DIEGO IN @ WEEKS

[datsniggawater]

im so glad they will discoutine the 757s they have to much power and plus they are small and not confortable narrow seating and why so some aircrafts stop at the front door and some stop and they second door the one after first class

[TheLiLD95]

There not discontinuing there B757's!! It's the most operated aircraft in there fleet!! To much power and small? An airplane travels at around 600 MPH, is that to fast for you? The B757 is a very large aircraft and is not small at all! Try taking a 3hr flight on a CRJ-700! Thats's SMALL plane!

[soybomb2345]

3 hrs on a CRJ-700??? Um.... TORTURE!

[TheLiLD95]

ya!! HELL!!

[soybomb2345]

Wow. Try this one... Almost three hours on an ERJ-145... Worse... Lol.

[TheLiLD95]

Well they are pretty much the same size...

[soybomb2345]

ERJ are smaller. But yes, they are relatively the same size.

[Turkmen70]

Is The 738 Small?

[TheLiLD95]

Not really. . .

[SAB14N]

Eventually they will be discontinued. With the newer planes being introduced into the fleet in the coming years, the old gas hog 757 will be weeded out. It's just not fuel efficient enough for companies to use. You will start seeing changes within the next 5 years im willing to bet. The 757 is too small of a plane for the amount of gas it uses and HP it produces. It's way overpowered. If the plane doesn't have a good passenger to fuel consumption ratio then the companies wont want to use it.

[TheLiLD95]

@SAB14N Then explain why they are paying MILLIONS of dollars to install new First & Economy class seats AND fit the plane with blended winglets? As I said b4, it is the most operated aircraft in there fleet. . If they have delt with this plane for all these years I think they can handle a few more with it. The B757 was and is a great aircraft and the plus side about it is that it can be used for international and domestic flights. . . They will not be discontinuing the B757 any time soon. . .

[SAB14N]

Yeah sure it may be the most operational plane in the fleet, but that wont matter in whatever amount of years when its time to replace it. They are upgrading them because out of all companies they have the oldest 757 interiors. Just because they are upgrading some, not even all of their planes, doesn't mean they are going to keep them around forever. All the company cares about is making money, and like I said, once they get the chance the purchase newer planes, the 757 will be the first to go.

[TheLiLD95]

@SAB14N hahahah what I find funny is that you don't work for AA so you don't even know what they are going to do with the B757's so STOP saying all of this when you really don't even know what they are going to do with them!

[SAB14N]

@TheLiLD95 Um, okay. It doesn't take a genius to know why or when a company would get rid of the 757. It's pretty obvious. BTW, my dads been working for them for 35 years so I heard this from a pretty legit source.

[TheLiLD95]

@SAB14N ya u really think I am gong to believe that ur dad works for them. . . . What plane are they going to be replacing the B757's then?

[SAB14N]

@TheLiLD95 I honestly don't care wether or not you believe me. How am I supposed to know what they will be replacing them with. This isn't happening for however many years. I doubt even people working for AMR know what they will replace them with. They wouldn't publicly announce what they will be replacing them with till a number of just months before this actually happens.

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@TheLiLD95 ok so what plane is gonna replace the 757

[TheLiLD95]

@yoyoyoyoshua American Airlines will be keeping the B757 in the fleet for a long time!

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@TheLiLD95 ok cause it made me wonder cause I heard some where that the 787 will be replacing the 757 and the 767

[TheLiLD95]

@yoyoyoyoshua Well the B757 will be replaced over time but most likely with the B737 & B767. The AA B757's cover to much domestic service and the B787 is made more for international service.

[delta757and767pilot]

@TheLiLD95 the 757 will be replaced with the same thing that will replace the 737 the y3

[TheLiLD95]

@delta757and767pilot What is the y3? They are not replacing the B737 for a LONG LONG time!

[Cactus732]

@delta757and767pilot American are still buying new 737s to replace the MD-82s, and MD-83s, the 737 will probably still be flying for at least another 20 years

[delta757and767pilot]

@Cactus732 that is true since the y3 wont fly for like 5 but still the 757 will be replaced by the y3 and so will the 737

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@Cactus732 And they're gonna get the 777-300 and the 787

[U2ONE08]

Super 80's are already being weeded out by the 737 and even that's going to take a VERY long time. My dad is a super 80 pilot...what does yours do?

[SAB14N]

@U2ONE08 My dad's a mechanic and crew chief for AA out of Boston.

[WeinerDogcreations]

@U2ONE08 I love the super 80

[U2ONE08]

The Super 80 is American's workhorse... :( sorry

[Pcolaman]

Nice Video. I like it how it shows the "ground activity". Nice winglets too on this AA 752 What camera did you use?

[NowBoarding1]

[TheLiLD95]

[atrude777]
